Clayton Mathis w/ Lynn Wamp @ AYC

We all know and love him for his charming good looks and sweet personality, but did you know he can sing!

Clayton Mathis was born and raised in Gaffney, SC in the small community of Goucher. While there, he attended Thickety Creek University where he learned proper fence building techniques, the art of bovine castration, cat fishing 101, tree identification, and was surrounded by some of the finest gospel music imaginable at one of the small community churches where he developed his love for music. His grandmother taught him piano until he quit at the age of 12. He tried guitar lessons around the age of 15, but couldn’t seem to grasp the technique of “practice”. There’s a large gap in between these times where his whereabouts were unknown. Mostly traveling the cosmos(as he says), he listened to every genre of music imaginable. From Ernest Tubb to Wu-Tang Clan to Guns N Roses to Thievery Corporation. He re-surfaced sometime around the year 2013 in the small town of Apalachicola. There, he was so inspired by his surroundings he decided to pick up the guitar again. He weaves around topics such as religion, politics, unanswered questions, relationships, drinking, love, and family. He had the privilege of having his brother produce his debut album in 2020 titled Welcome to the In Between in Columbia, SC. His most recent influences would be his brother, Townes Van Zandt, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, and Drive By Truckers. A brewer/bar owner by day, you may find him slugging back beers and strumming on a guitar on a corner or in one of the local bars of Apalachicola, Florida.
